A ring diary

Accessorising is an essential aspect of styling. It became such because most women, if not all, love to adorn themselves with jewelleries. They love to express their inner aura in the language of stunning ornaments. Among all kinds of accessories are finger rings — the tiniest pieces that can transform a look entirely; ties an outfit together with the essence of sophistication.

Rings appeared in the fashion realm a while back. Before that, the significance of wearing a circular object around the fingers varied from culture to culture. It was mostly related to marital customs. But today, rings have evolved from a symbol of marriage to a requisite of modern fashion. Finger rings are not confined to a definite size or shape anymore either. Rings are now designed in different sizes, shapes, materials and colours, turning them into something more than basic, and giving birth to our commonly known ‘statement rings’.

Statement rings have a unique essence to them. They are exceptional and exclusive in design. The interesting part about these rings is that they reflect one’s inner aesthetic. People are more likely to be drawn towards the rings that express their style the most. Because of this, a hint of personality is assorted in the variation of statement rings.

The types of statement rings are many and can hardly be categorised. The most commonly seen are the local oxidised metal rings in eccentric designs. These give off a traditional feel and can easily be paired with Bengali outfits. It expresses love for the Bangladeshi culture and looks absolutely gorgeous. Besides, there are other ones in contemporary designs with a gold/silver/rose-gold plating.

These are simpler yet stunning and can be paired with all kinds of outfits, but usually goes better with westerns. Gem-studded rings in big sizes and soothing colours are also very trendy at the moment. A good example of that are the drusy rings, which resemble small crystals. A few more types of statement rings are the marble rings, kundan rings, baguette rings, two-finger chained rings, four-finger rings, etc.
